SHEET-M ETAL VESSEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,243, dated October 23, 1883. Application filed March 7, 1883. (No model.)

[0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. CONWAY, of the city of Baltimore, and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Sheet-Metal Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a sheet-metal ves sel having a central thimble in its bottom,.

A is the body of the vessel, having an ordinary handle, a, and B the thimble, closed at its upper end. 0 is the gas-burner, and if the same is of circular cross-section, as is usual, the thimble B is made of some polygonal shape, as shown in Fig. 2, in order that the vessel may be properly supported, and at the same time give apertures 12 for the downward escape of gas. When the vessel is in place on the burner, the gas passes down the apertures b and is ignited below the cup, the flame diffusing itself over the bottom and around the sides of the vessel.

- I claim as my inventionp In combination with a gas-burner, the vessel A, having the thimble B and gas-escape apertures b, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

WM. M. CONWAY.
